Sexist School Rules, your opinion

[Queso]

I thought you Australians got rid of your Nazi leaders after WWII but I guess I was wrong.

Someone's either being funny or doesn't know the difference between Australia and Austria

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt

Those countries in Europe are all the same.

At my old school we never had a uniform, kids wore what they wore, personally I used to wear a black long coat/jeans and general H&M stuff most of the time a few kids wore trenchcoats, a few wore tracksuits, a few wore plain jeans&tees.

There was a massive division between the wealthy kids and the poor kids but it made screw all difference, we all got to know each other as people not by which brand of clothing we wore, near anyone can dress in a way to present themselves as they wish on a modest budget, I spent a hell of allot less than the nike wearing chavs and we all I think grew up as better people for being in such a diverse environment, the nicest school I've ever been to was Frankfurt international school, everyone wore what they wanted there were kids from every corner of the planet, sure some of the grouped off but I'd never seen a more healthy environment than that school.

Uniforms promote school rivalry violence they are often expensive and uncomfortable and just turn kids into bricks in the wall, finding out who you are is a massive part of growing up.

thanks for this comment .. it pretty much sums up my emotions about the subject
after all if school uniforms would really help against bullying/mobbing the english school system wouldn't have any problems with it

as far as i remember it most don't get bullied etc. for their clothes but more because of their behavioral or little ticks etc.


personally i rather have the freedom ... a school requiring so and so haircuts is just plain ridiculous for me ... come on i had that in the army, and they only requrie it because of practical reasons (the ABC protection mask doesn't fit as close with longer hair)

everybody having the same haircut, clothes etc. is rather scary to me ...

My school let me have long hair all year until the last 4 weeks of the when they told me to get it cut because of school tours. I was pretty pissed off.

My school is like this. Girls can hae their hair as long as they want it (within reason) but boys have to be short. I'm a boy but my hair isnt short, but its not long. Kinda average. Rebel!

I think I broke nearly all those rules (except for having hair too short/unwashed and makeup) and was punished for each. My least favourite punishment was for having hair gel in, I was forced to strip naked and wash it out under a cold shower under staff supervision

I hated that school.
